Hello, I am fairly new to creating levels with the level editor, however I need help on adding a background into a level.

When I create a new level, it comes with three default layers- background, interactive, and foreground, however, when I look at a level someone else has created, it shows a layer behind the background layer labeled 'Background IMG'. I am wondering how to get this layer onto my levels, I have tried adding new layers, but I can never get it to display an option of adding a background image.

Hey,

you should find a background image object to select on the right side (where the other objects are). Just drag and drop it to your sector.

Thank you, this worked.

Also I have an another question, when creating a worldmap, how do I add underground/hidden parts (such as where the cave levels are on IcyIsland)

Secret paths should look somewhat like this in the editor:

Re underground:
You can add a layer above certain paths and have those fade out to create an underground effect.
